The Holy Eucharist is the central act of worship of the Episcopal Church. It is the prayer of the entire church, and is always community, not individual prayer. The word Eucharist means "thanksgiving" in Greek. In the Eucharist the community gives thanks for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The Eucharist is also a sacrament, a way that we see God's grace in a visible way. In the case of the Eucharist, we see the love of God made visible in the bread and wine, the body and blood of Jesus.
Administration of the chalice gives the parishioner an opportunity to participate directly in the celebration of Holy Eucharist, serving wine to those who come forward. Chalice administrators are scheduled for all weekend and special services. They wear white albs, with a scapular over their shoulders in the liturgical color of the season. A chalice administrator should be a church member and communicant in good standing. The participant will receive training in the skills necessary for the effective exercise of this ministry. Paul Bishop schedules Chalice Administrators. For more information and training, contact Deacon Bess.
